Book Review: This book very nicely describes the optimization techniques that are used in the field of VLSI signal processing. This book provides an integration of VLSI architecture theory and algorithms thereby addressing different architectures at the implementation level. Additionally, the book also demonstrates many approaches to analysis, estimation and reduction of power consumption. The author explains the design of high speed, low area and low power VLSI systems for many DSP applications. The book also contains various graphs that illustrate DSP algorithms and is a very good course book on VLSI digital signal processing architectures.

Book Review: The book presents mathematical background as well as concentrates on providing many practical examples that are used in the design of working systems. The book does not require complete understanding of mathematics and high level operating theory. The book provides a very nice presentation of the basics of control theory pertaining to an embedded environment. The book explains to the engineers about the application of control theorems without the need of mathematics. The book also covers the latest concepts in control systems with embedded digital controllers.
